Before his departure from BAL, the Dreamville boss also gifted his teammates and coaches some new gear. However, not all the players in the league were happy with Cole joining the league as he recently received criticism from AS Sale guard Terrell Stoglin.

“I think there’s a negative and a positive [to Cole’s presence],” Terrell Stoglin told ESPN. “The negative part of it is, I think he took someone’s job that deserves it. I live in a basketball world. I don’t live in a fan world. I know a lot of guys that had their careers stopped by COVID and they’re still home working out and training for an opportunity like this. For a guy who has so much money and has another career to just come here and average, like, one point a game and still gets glorified is very disrespectful to the game. It’s disrespectful to the ones who sacrificed their whole lives for this.”
J. Cole recently dropped the music video for “Applying Pressure” off his #1 album “The Off-Season“.
